The NBA Commissioner is scrambling right now, trying to get rid of any and all BLM and political messaging from his league, as the entire bottom begins falling out of the National Basketball Association.

So, what’s happened to the King James NBA? Well, for starters, LeBron has absolutely destroyed it, top-to-bottom and inside out.

LeBron James has proudly and arrogantly led the NBA down the doomed SJW path, not giving a damn what the fans, who pay his salary, thought about it.

Once again, US organizations and corporations read the room wrong and jumped into full “BLM” support after the death of George Floyd, not considering for one moment that 1) Americans don’t need social justice or politics in their sports ever and 2) Americans can feel bad about George Floyd without supporting Marxist BLM.

These companies and sports franchises will learn the very hard and painful way that just because a small but very loud mob supports social justice and progressive politics, doesn’t mean the silent majority does. And it looks like school is already in session...

True but only for those few who are actually following a team.

You're right. This is just bloviating from someone who didn't bother to look at how the NBA makes money.

Americans can feel bad about George Floyd without supporting Marxist BLM.

And Americans can know that George Floyd wasn't murdered because his cause of death was NOT due to asphyxiation.

I won’t watch the last two seconds of an NBA game, much less the last two minutes.

If it wasn’t for sports gambling, and fantasy leagues, I really wonder what the interest in Corporate Sports is these days.

LeBron James needs to con the league into moving to China... Nothing about them says 'American' anymore anyhow... Lucky for LeBron the Chinese are known for being racially inclusive.../s

I’m from Chicago and the first thing I was going to say was, what happened to basketball since Michael Jordan?

He was famously non-political.

Just have to watch the last two minutes of a game to see who won.

If you care who won, just check on the internet the next day. I'm really not sure why anyone would care.

An ad like that...no ad exec would EVER even come up with an idea like that.

And to me, a 58 year old white woman, the Chinese guy looks like a child compared to the black guy, who actually looks like a man who could please a woman.

In other words, if they were going for sex appeal, this ad is a dud.

Can’t be worth that much because everyone who watched the sport during MJ era is no longer following it now.

Now Black/AAs only have football, Rap music, TV commercials, and drug dealing for career paths.

And movie remakes.

I noticed this when State Farm replaced Khaki Jake with Black Jake. They couldn't make up a new character, they had to cancel the white one.
